Patent CA-2338751-C (CA)
Title: Cancer cells from body fluids containing cells, isolation thereof and agents containing the same
Inventor: GIESING MICHAEL
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1999-07-27
Granted: 2011-05-24
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for isolating cancer cells from body fluids containing cells. The invention also relates to sets for carrying out said method, cancer cells isolated from body fluids, cell lines established therefrom or derived cell constituents, the use thereof as therapeutic agents or targets, and pharmaceutical or veterinary products containing them. The inventive method is based on the idea that body fluids containing cells are comprised of different sized and different shaped cells and groups of cells.  According to the invention, body fluids containing cells or fractions of said body fluids are filtered in a sieve that retains cancer cells. The isolation and characterization of cancer cells is highly important, especially in the field of oncology, in order to respond to questions related to diagnostics, prognoses, therapeutics and scientific matters in human medicine and veterinary medicine. The inventive method also enables cancer cells to be removed totally from fluids or fractions (isolates) thereof containing cells.  The isolated cancer cells, cell lines established therefrom and derived cell constituents reflect a substantially native i.e. biological state that can be associated with corresponding cancer cells in a body fluid.

Granted: 2009-07-07
Abstract: A method and system for the downhole separation and injection of a predominately water component of the mixture produced from a naturally flowing or gas-lifted hydrocarbon well. The produced mixture is delivered to a separator located in the wellbore above an injection formation, the separator comprising a gas-liquid separator and an oil-water separator. The produced mixture is admitted to a gas-liquid separator to separate the free gas from the produced mixture. The gas-depleted produced mixture is then admitted to an oil-water separator where the produced mixture is separated into a predominately water component and a predominately hydrocarbon component. The separated gas and the predominately hydrocarbon component are delivered to the surface, separately or commingled. The predominately water is injected in the injection formation accessible through the same wellbore, and located below the separator. The predominately water component is separated at a sufficiently elevated location with respect to the injection formation to permit the predominately water component to be delivered to the injection formation under the force of gravity. This invention achieves downhole water separation and injection without having to install downhole pumps to re-inject the water contained in the produced mixture.

Title: A cleaning device for a mower cutting chamber
Inventor: THORMAN CHRISTOPHER SCOTT
IPC: A01D34/00
Filed: 2001-06-19
Granted: 2004-09-21
Abstract: A washing device is provided for removing debris from an underside of a mower having a multi-chamber cutting deck. The device includes a mounting apparatus allowing the device to be attached to a flange of the deck. Connected to the mounting apparatus is an assembly for dispersing liquid such as water and delivering the water to all portions of the underside of the deck. To accomplish this delivery, the assembly includes first and second liquid dispersion plates attached with each other and also connecting with the mounting apparatus to allow the delivery of water therethrough. Provided in one of the plates is a channel having divided end portions which elevate water upon contact so as to lift the water over an included cutting blade. Coupled with this plate is yet another plate enabling connection of the dispersion assembly to the deck and also providing a vent between the two plates. Creation of this vent then allows an emission of water reaching across the width of each of the included chambers. Interaction between an elevated distribution of water reaching across the width of the deck together with simultaneous engagement of the blades results in a swirling effect permitting water to reach the entirety of the deck underside.

Abstract: A system and method in a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network for automatically configuring Network Service Entity Identifiers (NSEIs) in a Base Station System (BSS(32)) and a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN(33)) when the BSS is reconfigured. The Gb interface between the BSS and the SGSN is modified to operate using the Internet Protocol (IP), and the BSS and the SGSN are configured to run on IP.  Whenever a new Network Service Entity (NSE) is added (57) to an existing BSS. or a new BSS is added to the network, the BSS automatically sends (52) a modified Network Service (NS')-Reset message to the SGSN requesting an NSEI. The SGSN dynamically allocates (53) a tree NSEI from a pool of NSEIs and sends (54) it to the BSS. When an NSE is removed (61) from the BSS. the BSS automatically sends (62) a modified NS'-Reset message to the SGSN to free an NSEI. The SGSN de-allocates (63) the NSEI, and returns the NSEI to the pool of free NSEIs. All related entries for Base Station Systems GPRS Protocol (BSSGP) Virtual Circuit Identifiers (BVCIs) under the de-allocated NSEI are also removed by the SGSN.

Title: Systems and methods for generating weighted finite-state automata representing grammars
Inventor: NEDERHOF MARK-JAN
IPC: G10L15/193
Filed: 2002-12-30
Granted: 2007-05-29
Abstract: A context-free grammar can be represented by a weighted finite-state transducer. This representation can be used to efficiently compile that grammar into a weighted finite- state automaton that accepts the strings allowed by the grammar with the corresponding weights. The rules of a context-free grammar are input. A finite-state automaton is generated from the input rules. Strongly connected components of the finite- state automaton are identified. An automaton is generated for each strongly connected component. A topology that defines a number of states, and that uses active ones of the non- terminal symbols of the context-free grammar as the labels between those states, is defined. The topology is expanded by replacing a transition, and its beginning and end states, with the automaton that includes, as a state, the symbol used as the label on that transition. The topology can be fully expanded or dynamically expanded as required to recognize a particular input string.

Title: Sewer inspection chamber with backflow prevention valve and method and apparatus for installing valve in sewer inspection chamber
Inventor: WATTS LEON B
IPC: E03F7/04
Filed: 1997-04-09
Granted: 2005-03-22
Abstract: An inspection chamber for use in sanitary sewer systems has an integral back-flow prevention valve. The valve can be installed through an access pipe with the inspection chamber in place underground. The valve does not interfere with the installation or removal of a plug in the inspection chamber during construction and inspection of the sewer system. The inspection chamber comprises a clip oriented to receive a valve member from the direction of an access port. The valve member comprises a pin connected to a flap member by a narrow bridge member. The flap member has a projecting handle member. An installation tool holds the valve member by the handle member and provides a tab which can be hammered downwardly to snap the pin into the clip thereby securing the valve member in the inspection chamber. An inspection chamber according to the invention avoids the necessity of providing a separate buried back-how prevention valve.
